Let it be said that in Leora absence, Paul is doing his share toward creating interest for the apartment by, sprawling topless on the LR sofa, being attentive to the laptop, and reacting to what ever he is watching with quirky smiles, and or grins. Plus he is, being true to Leora's normal activity, letting the phone interrupt his viewing of the lap top.
Eva, in the meantime is " vibrating with enthusiasm to the point she can hardly control herself " while keeping up with Paul's laptop ventures.
It also seems that Paul is limping. Hopefully it is nothing serious.
But it will probably contribute to his not venturing from the apartment.
